I loved this book.
This book tells two parallel stories: the author's struggle to adopt and raise the son she had with her partner, and the story of Queer Nation - San Francisco from about 1990 to 1992.

Disappointing Reading
When I first read this book I was expecting a story about "a lesbian mother's fight for her son." In reality, very little of this book deals with the author's family situation and relationship with her son. Most of the book chroncicles the author's political activism and there is compartively little dealing with her partner or child. A profound disappointment

This review is from: Family Values: A Lesbian Mother's Fight for Her Son (Paperback)
This book tells two parallel stories: the author's struggle
to adopt and raise the son she had with her partner, and
the story of Queer Nation - San Francisco from about 1990 to
1992. It's an excellent documentary of both her personal
story and the historical events of those years: protests
against the Gulf War, christian evangelists, and the film
"Basic Instinct." I participated in the protests and am
mentioned in the book, but that's not why I like it. It's
funny, accurate, touching and dramatic.
